It seems that reports earlier that Paul Jordaan is fine were slightly incorrect, as the Sharks are waiting on the young centre to prove his fitness before naming their team to face the Lions this weekend.

Rugby365.com reports that Jordaan will have to pass a late fitness test on Thursday should he wish to face the Currie Cup defending champions this weekend, struggling with a hamstring that just does not want to heal properly.

According to quotes from coach John Plumtree, Jordaan has not trained this week, but that the team is hoping he will ready to train by Thursday.

We are expecting the Sharks team to be announced on Thursday, as Wednesdays are generally their day off, and this team will confirm whether returning players such as Anton Bresler, Louis Ludik and Charl McLeod will start the match, or be introduced from the bench.
